Our first attempt going offshore to fish required that we shoot a hole through Tilloo Cut. With the winds fairly strong, we were one of few boats heading out. The waves were 6- 8 feet, and the kids were loving every minute! I sat out front, spotting kids, but holding on for dear life. I don't think I could have done anything to protect them had a wave caused them to slip, but I was out there nonetheless. Just when I was about to turn around to tell Lloyd that I was going to throw up (and that I could NEVER cross the Atlantic with him), a pair of dolphin shot out of the water in front of us! Jen, Mandy, and I squealed like little girls. There were at least 8 of them. Lloyd killed the engines and we glided along more smoothly, allowing us to maneuver on the bow. As the dolphin approached the boat they would swim sideways, so to be at the perfect angle to take a good look at us! Magnificent creatures.
